Garfield explained #3

Garfield Comic Strip for June 22, 19781978-06-22

Jon correctly assumes Garfield is overweight. Jon wrongly assumes he has bigger mental capacities than Garfield, leaving him with an inedible pile of ashes instead of a stereotypically cartoonish-looking steak that looks like it came out of 1940's Tom and Jerry, and a particularly grotesquely ugly and dumb look on his face.

Streak of food-themed Garfield strips: 4



1978-06-23

Garfield lies on a microwave, enjoying warmth like all cats; however the "Happiness is a warm microwave" angle didn't pass through the censors for obvious reasons, so Garfield instead covers an ancient TV set that probably doesn't correspond to any TV set that actually ever existed, based on the ridiculous layout of buttons and the radio-like dial bar thingy (the thing where you set the frequence, anyway). 

Author's note: This is probably THE Garfield strip where the titular character behaves most closely to an actual cat.
